Car_man - can you provide lease info on a Focus ST (sedan with ST package), loaded, 5-speed, 2yr/24k. If it matters, I will be getting A-plan. Also, how often do the lease programs change - monthly or quarterly? Thanks!!!!

Hello jwilds. Ford's lease program often varies depending upon what part of the country one is in. As a result, it would be a big help you would tell me what state you are in. As far as how often Ford's lease program changes, its current lease rates and residual values are scheduled to run through July 5th.

I got a question regarding leases, I would like to lease a new car, looking at acouple of different models and makes. My average Credit score is 622, been perfect payment for the last 2+, my only debt are my student loans (150/m) my take home is $4200/m would ford lease me a car ? Looking at Focus ZX3 SES.

Don't worry about it, jwilds. It happens all the time. OF, if you were to lease a 2006 Ford Focus Sedan ST through Ford Credit in Michigan right now for 2 years with 12,000 miles per, its base lease rate and residual value should be 2.5% and 58%, respectively. When negotiating this car's capitalized cost, make sure to keep in mind that Ford is currently providing $500 lease cash on it in your area.

I'm hoping someone can help, I put a deposit on a 2007 Focus Wagon and the incentive (RCL) cash just went up from $500 to $1,000 so I thought, great, my payment will be lower than originally quoted. But my salesman says the interest rate (money factor?) has gone up by 1.5% so the payment is actually $3/month higher.

Hi fordwagon67. It's possible that this vehicle's lease program changed as well. Its program varies depending upon how long you lease if for. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease. Let me know if you want a different term. Ford Credit's current base lease rate for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Focus Wagon is 3.5%. Is this in line with what you were quoted?

Hi imacyco. The fact that you are able to purchase this vehicle through Ford's X-Plan means that you are getting a good price on it. This is a pretty nice car for $238 per month with nothing down for only 24 months. I would be more than happy to use Ford Credit's actual lease program double check the lease payment that you were quoted if you provide me with this car's full MSRP and selling price.

As far as I know, you can receive all three rebates if you have the proper papers to show you are a college grad. As far as "how much can I expect for a trade-in???... I suggest you go over to the trade-in forum and it would HELP if you stated what kind of vehicle, year, mileage, condition, etc. No one can give you an estimate without DETAILS!!! :confuse:

Hello cenerhimself. Unfortunately neither the $2,500 customer cash nor the $500 Ford Credit finance bonus are available on vehicles that are leased through Ford Credit. The only cash incentives that you would be eligible for on a lease of this car are $500 lease cash and the college student bonus.

I am looking to negotiate a lease for my mother on a 2008 Focus S Coupe or Sedan(No preference). The only thing she cares about is an automatic. She will probably put around 5000-6000 miles on a year if that. Her credit score is in the low 800's. I would like to stay under 2k drive-off. Will someone please let me know what a reasonable monthly payment would be. I know I should be concerned with the residual and money factor, but I just need something short term for my mom since she probably won't be driving for too much longer.

Hey indianajohns. Here you go. I believe that Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Ford Focus SES with 10,500 miles per year are 2.5% and 52%, respectively.

A reporter is interested in talking with recent buyers of the Chevy Cruze, Ford Fiesta or Ford Focus. If you care to share your comments, please email your daytime contact info to pr@edmunds.com no later than Monday, May 16, 2011.Thanks,Jeannine FallonCorporate CommunicationsEdmunds.com

A new Titanium Focus packaged at $23,495. What would be a good deal on leasing this car? What would be a good monthly offer and what do you suggest as a down payment. This lease would be for 36 months at either 12k or 15k miles per year. Thank You for your time.

Car_ManI see above you quoted a 12K mile SEL at 3.75 and 59%. Can you tell me what the numbers are for a Sedan at 15K miles? Wasn't sure if it is the same. My new Focus is built and should be delivered in the next few weeks. Looking to lease. Thanks,Damian
